Book your place now for Open Doors 2025!
Are you curious about what it’s like to work in construction? Open Doors 2025 is your chance to go behind the scenes and discover the exciting opportunities in this thriving industry.
Taking place from 17-22 March 2025, Open Doors offers unique experiences at live construction sites, offices, manufacturing facilities, training centres and more from across the UK.
Whether you're a student considering your next step, a career changer, or just want to know more about construction, Open Doors takes you behind the hoardings and shows what it’s really like to be a part of this dynamic industry.
You’ll get site tours and Q&A sessions with construction professionals, and in some cases, hands-on, interactive learning experiences.
Why choose construction?
Construction offers more than just a job – it’s a career full of opportunities and rewards. Did you know that the average UK construction worker earns over £44,000 a year, which is nearly £9,000 more than the UK average salary?
Plus, with over 180 different occupations and more than 100 apprenticeship roles, there’s a tailor-made path for everyone, no matter the stage of your career.
Construction is an industry full of potential. According to CITB’s Construction Skills Network report, the sector needs to recruit 50,000 new workers every year until 2028. That means there’s no better time to explore what construction has to offer.
Kick-start your career at NCC
In 2023, CITB helped over 2,300 people start their construction journey through apprenticeships and supported more than 32,000 apprentices during their training.
Through Open Doors, CITB is welcoming visitors to its National Construction College (NCC) sites at Bircham Newton and Inchinnan, offering an inside look at the world of construction training.
